We all understand when people get upset because something’s not right in their lives. However, why oh why, would someone want to burn hundreds of mobile phones because of his/her frustration is beyond me. And that’s exactly what happened in Weifang, China, when a spurned wife set fire to more than 400 mobile phones worth 300,000 yuan ($42,000) when her husband walked out on their marriage. To make things even worse (or that’s more weird), the phones were co-owned by her and her husband.
And while I do understand some people, women especially (pardon me ladies), can react emotionally this is way out of line. She should’ve kicked his but and leave the phones alone. Keep this in mind when you go out to vote…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
